I can't wait to try it when I get more mineral eyeshadows. <BR/><BR/>I must add that the bottle it comes in sucks. I'd advise using a separate dropper when pressing pigments.HiGHLYFEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00765719169156010261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229981514816640313.post-88870483934286025332008-09-07T11:35:00.000-07:002008-09-07T11:35:00.000-07:00I love you!

Alchohol will make your mineral shadows too hard, and they break easily. I've also read that they don't transfer to your brush and your eye very well after a week or so. For me, it's not an option because they'd all crack and break during shipping! I read that jojoba oil also is a good pressing medium - that's what I tried yesterday.
